Since its founding in 2003 by Stephen Bachmann, Vinfolio has experienced exponential growth in sales from its online wine store and collector services. From 2004 to 2006, revenues more than quadrupled from $900,000 to $5.6 million and are projected to triple in 2007 over 2006.

With the support of Price Waterhouse Coopers, The San Francisco Business Times reviewed over 2,000 Bay Area companies to compile the final list. All companies had to have been headquartered in the Bay Area, privately held between 2004 and 2006 and revenues of over $200,000 in 2004. The average growth rate from 2004 to 2006 of the top 100 private companies was forty-seven percent.
